This may not be relevant i dunno, but just wanted to add that I also attached offer letters from the U.K. & Ireland to show that I have other options & Canada is not the end of the world. (Mentioned on the SOP too)


Also in terms of funds, don’t submit a statement with eg 6m which is required for you to show, but when they call the bank to verify, the money is now 4m. You will get a refusal saying insufficient funds to support yourself.

Your SOP shouldn’t be full of stories, how you did something from childhood etc. Just straight to the point like a graduate.

Just thought I should add these but please note that it’s from own experience. Yours might defer.

Goodluck

NwanyiOkpa:



how many pages or words are sufficient? Some people advised we use a well-detailed LOE. Is a well-detailed LOE not supposed to have lots of stories?

Hello house, my sister and her husband want to apply for study at University of Windsor, they currently have two kids. Is it possible for them to be granted a study visa?
@NwanyiOkpa and other gurus.

TheBeat:

Thanks
My concern is if this would raise eyebrows if I lodge in such amount now for the September intake. I was planning to use both account (The one over here to prove the source of the funds in Nigeria) Again it will be easier to keep the money in home account. I still have some records of western union transaction I used to send the cash to my sister's account from where I reside.

Good day all, please I’ll like for someone to help me on the documents I need to apply for a study permit to Conestoga. I just got admitted into the pgd for September intake. I’d also love info on the proof of income like how much naira has to be in the account. I currently work in a bank as a contract worker but my mum will sponsor me. I’m supposed to use an agent by I don’t have 100% trust in him. I’d love details from people who have helpful ideas. Thanks

Good Morning All. My position has been adjusted by some recent developments. University of Victoria in BC has increased their funding to $10,000 , meanwhile their tuition for my masters is $7,500 plus some student fees of roughly $1,500 making $9,000 in all. This means I have to show just living expenses for the first year.

The position in Western University, Ontario hasn’t changed. It still remains $20,000 funding out of the $30,000 tuition plus student fees. Hence, I have to show the balance of 10k and 10k for the living expenses

My dad is my sponsor with a closing balance of say N6m (I’m injecting this in piecemeal to his Acct) but has fixed deposit certificate of 5m and I also have like 1.5m in my personal/salary account.

Please which choice of school is rational for my study visa application given my available financial and sponsorship resources.

Some have argued that I might apply with Western because funding of $20,000 might be weighty in the eyes of the visa officer compared to Victoria’s $10,000.

Thank you.

Chukwuemeka101:


Nope I have not,
That's another idea ,but am looking at it in a way doesn't waste my time, what do you suggest ? And why?

jubrilx:

Please does having a family member in Canada affects ones application positively or negatively?

Blema111:

Everyone’s application is different. There’s someone I know whose family members all reside in Canada and it’s environs. He was the only one left in Nigeria but he was still approved. So it depends kinda.

I have checked on laptop and mobile.
Please I need your guidance on this.. Thanks

Hi guys

Do you guys think study permits approvals will be somewhat easier to get after this pandemic phase?

Move some pages backward, you will see where about two GCMS notes were uploaded. Since it mostly now comes generic, use both as a guide as your situation is closely knit to the raised concerns therein.

All banks. You will have to search for someone maybe a close relative or sibling to help you out

iwillgetthere:
@Naijaforeigner. You are right. IRCC would not be magnanimous this time around with new study visa applicants especially September 2020 intake. You know why? most foriegn students already granted visa have deferred to next intake, same September 2020 as advised by most schools in Canada. Let us say about 80% would defer till September.

The point is, in order not to congest the classroom, most of the new applicants for September intake may be refused visa. Because the schools may not have enough capacity to combine the two sets.

My advice as a travel agent to my immigration clients is to wait till next year before applying for study visa. Except they are applying for next year.

Canada would be in need of foreign workers and tourists in the timenro come watchout for this.....I know new Express Entry and Foreign worker ( open work permit) applicants may benefit more from this pandemic in the long run.

Best bet, UK, Germany and US may be a temporary action for consideration.





quote author=Naijaforeigner post=88263125]

One thing is sure, Canadian economy will fall during this crisis and it will take time to bounce back. Post covid19, more people will struggle for few jobs.

Will they allow more immigrants into the country post covid19? Time will tell.

My advise? Applicants thinking of migrating to UK, USA or Canada, should do so fast!

20k funding without you showing the other 20k(for your tuition balance and living expenses) won't help you at all. Because of the available funds at hand, I will advise you go with the 10k tuition (which has already been taken care of by the school), so you just need to provide a mere 10k(actually 9k cos you have extra 1k from funding) for your living expenses.
NB: I want to believe both schools offers same program, right?

JustMellow:


Hello Kinzeerichy,

The option of Uvic should be considered and a good fit for your financial situation. In the aspect of your LE and the fxd., ask your father to liquidate say 2m and deposit it into his account to make the 6m bacome 8m. So doing coupled with your funding and closing balance of 1.5m, you will be able to have demonstrate that your LE is readily available.

In general view, what is the essence of 20k leaving you to debt of 10k, when 10k settles for a balance credit of 1k? 1k is big money don't reason it o!

Disclaimer:
You own your decision same as my opinion is mine.

All the best
